It depends whose house I'm at really.
If I'm at my Mum's, which I won't be this year, my little brother, 13 now, will still be up at some ridiculous time, usually around the 6am mark and will wake everyone up. My older brother would've gone and got completely smashed the night before but somehow, the Christmas spirit manages to drag him out of bed, after probably only having 3 hours sleep. We all head downstairs to open presents and exchange formalities, "Thank you, I love it..." is my favourite. After that's done, my older brother will go back to bed, I'll usually head back upstairs for some Playstation or a bit of TV, and my younger brother will stay downstairs with all his new stuff! My mum will usually rest for a bit before making a start on Christmas dinner, which is usually ready for about 2pm. After that, it's just any old day for us really, with a few drinks and then the next day we'll be back at eachother's throats!
At my Dad's it's a little different, in the sense that he doesn't allow us to get up until at least 9 o'clock, which I'm fine with! This year may be a bit different with two babies there, but we'll see! The same present exchanging routine occurs, although I usually just get money from my Dad, so it's a lot quicker! Then the main difference between my Mum's and my Dad's Christmas is that all of my Dad's girlfriend's family, who, let's just say aren't of a decent upbringing, all decide to come and cramp into my Dad's house, make and eat Christmas dinner, and try and make me wash up (which every year has failed.) I'll have usually migrated upstairs to play a bit of playstation again, before coming downstairs to say bye etc!
So yeah, no church, no leaving the house at all really, just a nice big jam ;D

My uncle and cousin go round too, we have christmas dinner, then open presents then we sit and chat, then we set up some snacks downstairs and thennn my cousin's, uncle and aunt and one of my cousin's gf usually comes round but they aren't this year :( But we're going round theirs on boxing day

Because I'm far away from my relatives this year (except mum & dad), it's a bit different to past years, for me.
I'd get up at about 6amish, and go on the computer in my room, until my Mum and Dad finally get up (around 9ish/10ish). We then go to the Christmas Tree and open the presents and put something on the TV to listen to. When we're feeling up to it, we have breakfast, I normally don't :P I usually just play around with the presents that I got (and I've got some weird ones in the past..) and mum goes and makes lunch. Whenever it's ready, we go and eat, and either drift off to sleep, play with what we've got or watch TV until we're tired to go to bed.

open presents, party, dinner, have a massive tourny on the wii lol etc
-
Get up about 12 (I'm not an early bird) have dinner etc
-
Wake up about 7/8 because my brother normally wakes me up, open presents, listen to christmas songs on the TV while setting up the stuff I got, then go on HxF (yeah, call me sad although it's just like any other day), go up nans (although I'm not sure this year), have dinner, watch Eastenders Christmas episode then just go back on HxF or something. :)
-
Wake up about 5ish (so i have sufficient time to wake up to look surprised at all the stuff i get) go down bout half past, open the mass of presents my mum said that she said last year she wouldnt get me, set the presents up (console or pc, this year a projector) and do that, then have dinner when its done, and play with my presents more then its over

On Christmas day I usually get up and go downstairs and wait until the rest of my family arrives. When the rest of my family arrives at our house and after we get all ready to open presents and stuff then we take pictures and then finally get to unwrapping. Most of the time I am the first one to unwrap my presents since I am usually the only kid at my house (I don't have any brothers or sisters). When we are all done opening presents we visit each other until it is late enough to eat. My dad usually cooks the meal but this time I think my grandpa is, and when the foods done we eat!
That's what we usually do.
